[RESOLVED] ASP.NET Web Site Administration Tool

[Nightwalker83]

Hi,

Today I uninstalled IIS 7.0 from my desktop machine because I no longer needed it on that particular machine. However, I find that if I load my web project and try to load the ASP.NET Web Site Administration Tool it will not load and I encounter "An error was encountered. Please return to the previous page and try again.", did I change something when using the IIS? How do I fix the problem?

Thanks,

Haven't done that but it's not a big deal to keep an IIS and i don't think future VS versions will have the asp.net web site admin tool right on the toolbar, you will have to go through a "trick" using IIS to get it to show. So how about installing it back?

What is the default browser of your asp.net project? If it's chrome or firefox, change it to IE.

Not sure what you are referring to? When I had IIS 7.0 on my desktop all I got when running the service was the IIS 7.0 image (probably because I tried installing it on Windows 7 home basic).

Well, I have been using Firefox and the ASP.NET Web Site Administration Tool was working with it but now it is not however, if I change to Internet Explorer I can access the ASP.NET Web Site Administration Tool with the "Project" menu, "ASP.NET Configuration" although, the icon for the the ASP.NET Web Site Administration Tool in the Solution Explorer (the hammer and globe) does not show the the ASP.NET Web Site Administration Tool when clicked. Nothing happens when I click the icon.

I am referring that VS2013 does not longer have the asp.net administration console anywhere to be found, you have to open a command prompt and run IIS commands (so i guess IIS must be installed?) to be shown the administration.

Maybe you should run aspnet_regiis tool again.

I forgot to mention I am using VS2010!
